approved by Maritime New Zealand is termed an
NZOSCA. The other benefit of using the term OSCA is that it extends to other product types that may
be used beyond ‘dispersants’.
As the definition of an oil spill in Part 132 reads “…an actual or probable release, discharge, or escape
of oil”, a natural oil seep resulting from dredging activities is already regulated by Part 132 and the
MTA. Do you therefore need Rule 4? If so, all relevant sections of Part 132 would apply including
provisions
submitters by
Plan provision. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to Plan provisions
relate to the publicly notified version of the Proposed Coastal Plan for Taranaki.
Further submissions may only be made in support of or opposition to the submissions

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. The neighbourhood or the wider
required to renew seven of the eight consents. This AEE document
supports the applications for the renewal of these consents.
No new works are being proposed. The effects of the activity will remain the same or similar
as they are currently.
There are no significant changes proposed to the operation of the hydroelectric scheme. No
new equipment is proposed in the near future, and it is expected that the scheme will continue
largely in its current form.

demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance.
George Family, Bishop, and Graham Harris demonstrated an overall good level of
environmental performance.
The Council's monitoring programme included 33 inspections, with each site receiving either
two or three scheduled inspections. Council also took 13 water samples for physicochemical
analysis during the 2015-2016 year.
No adverse environmental effects were observed as a result of any of the consent holders’
activities at the
Coastal Protection
Area: is the extent of the district’s coastal environment and means land within the district seaward of a line identified as
the inland boundary of the Coastal Protection Area on the District Plan Maps.

10. Relief sought:
1) Amend Policy 2 to:
a. Give effect to Policy 4 of the NZCPS, including by providing for coordinated
management or control of activities in the coastal environment;
Earth Movers, Taranaki Trucking, and
Rowe & Bayliss all demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance.
George Family, Bishop, and Gas and Plumbing demonstrated an overall good level of
environmental performance.
Overall, an improvement in Graham Harris’s environmental performance was required.
The Council's monitoring programme included 37 inspections, with each site receiving two
or three scheduled inspections. Council also took 13 water samples for physicochemical
discharged into a nearby farm drain and surface water. An abatement notice and infringement fine were
issued. The abatement notice was immediately complied with. The second exercise was undertaken without
issue.
Spreading procedures were updated to prevent stockpiling of waste on paddocks prior to spreading or
landfarming.
Water treatment sludge remains lagooned in-situ at two locations on the consent holder’s property.
By comparison with previous monitoring periods, the monitoring
